The little outside oval lights have gone out. The amber one outside the door and the one in front near the batteries. I'm guessing the bulbs are either out or not connected. Anybody know how to get the plastic lens off to check them?

On my 2015 178 they are both snap in. A downward pressure applied at top with a plastic tool or a screwdriver if not by hand will allow you to remove lens., I replaced both bulbs with LEDs some time ago, try squeezing lens together by hand first.

Oliver,
I removed one today, use a flat screwdriver and gently pry from bottom, not top. The lens has three snap in tabs, one at bottom and two at top. Comes out easy.

Thanks alot my friend. For some reason neither one is working, the amber one by the door, and the one in the front by the batteries. You say you replaced them with leds. Didn't they come with leds?

Mine didn't. I bought LED bulbs and replaced both. I ruined a porch light lens with an bulb that came with the RV that was to hot. The LEDs are brighter and cooler. I can send you the bulb number tomorrow. Once you get lens off you can see. I'd wager you have burnt bulbs.

Probably bulbs that are in there are 1141/1156 base auto bulbs. Available at any auto parts store. The LED bulb is a 12V115613, may be available at auto parts, if not on line. If you are in a hurry replace with auto bulbs. The bulb base is what determines replacement. 1156 is a direct replacement.

Found the led bulbs at Advance auto parts. They were more expensive, but brighter, and should last longer. Thanks, taking the lens off was easy.
